Aaaand… I’m done. I have it a really good go, but there’s no way I’m getting through the last four hours of the audiobook. Podcast whenever.

This might be very good, but I've not connected with anything in it yet. Maybe that will come, but so far I've not found it either emotionally or intellectually engaging, nor do I find anything that entertaining. Yet.

Done! Juliane is going to read this too, so a podcast review will happen once I get home.

Done. I'll listen to my previous review of this when I read it in 2013 to see if there's anything new or different I want to say about it on a new podcast. But it's still a 3.5 book, so I'm not sure if my opinion has changed. Meanwhile... worst audiobook production ever?!?!?

Finished. Podcast once I finish up other big projects that are taking all my time.

I'm not going to finish this.

Done! I will now listen back to the SFBRP episode from 2009 to see what younger Luke thought of the book. Will it remain on the SFBRP Must-Read list? Podcast coming next week!

In the end stretch now!

I’m 10 hours plus into the book and still have 20 hours plus left!

Podcast soon.

Let's do this.

Done. Podcast when Juliane finishes the book.

I think this is the one I've been looking for.

Juliane read this, so I also read it. I don't have much to say about this novella, so it might not get a podcast.

Re-read for the SFBRP Must-Read list. Maybe a podcast about it agin? Not sure. Maybe I'll listen back to the previous podcast to see if I have more to add.

Probably going to give up on this. I liked the concept so much, but unfortunately the execution is so sub-par it's just a slog to get through.

This is a bit of a slog.

Done. Podcast or maybe not no idea when we'll get to this we are way behind on podcast recordings and I didn't make many notes.

Done! But we are three books behind on the SFBRP so I'm not sure when we'll get to this.

DNF. I can't get through this a second time. Podcast whenever Juliane finishes it.

Done! Podcast coming at the weekend.

Done. Maybe a podcast soon?

Done. Podcast soon or whenever.

Done! What a disappointment after the initial promise. Full review coming on the podcast when I get home from this work trip.

Done with everything except the appendices, but the first one seems to be mostly Silmarillion material.

Only "book 6" to go. Let's get the Shire a bit scoured.

I have 12 days to finish this book so we can record an SFBRP episode as soon as Juliane is home from rehab.

Okay, another random stopping point at the end. So obviously not a standalone novel. Good job I already have the audiobook for Return of the King in my audible app.
